OIL-PAN AND CANDLE-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 10, 1909.

Application filed. September 9, 1908. Serial No. 452,338.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Toems Cor-1N, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a certain useful Combination Oil-Pan and Candle-Holder, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide in an economical yet strong and durable manner a device, in which both oil and candles may be burned, or either one to the exclusion of the other.

My invention therefore consists in the article of manufacture, and in the particular shape or structural characteristics of the blank out of which the same is made, as hereinafter described and further pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a plan view of a device embodying my invention. elevation. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional elevation on the line 3-3, looking in the di rection of the arrows. Fig. 4 is a plan view of a modified form. Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional elevation on the line 55, Fig.4,

looking in the direction of the arrows. ,Fig. 6 is a plan view of the blank from which the article is made. Fig. 7 is a like view, showing the manner of forming the candle-holder. Fig. 8 is a like view showing the candle holder erfected.

Simi ar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

The particular form of'blank out of which my article may be made, producing either the form shown in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive,or the modified form shown in Figs. 4 and 5, is designed primarily with the object of expeditiously and economically. producing the completed article, while at the same time its peculiar shape enables it to be economically punched out of a sheet of metal from whieh a number may be simultaneously or independently produced.

The oil-pan and candle-holder may be made of metal or other desired material. The blank 1 from which the same may be struck up in the usual mode of die-pressed work is shown in Fig. 6. body portion 2 tapered to form the lipped extension 2*, its edges being conformed approximately to that of the contour of the resultant article, and having an extension 3 with three straight sides 4 and two inclined Fig. 2 is a side- It consists in the.

sides 5, the material being inwardly cut away between the extension and the main body of the blankto form a gore 6, the body 2 and extension 3 being connected by a tongue 7, this formation leaving wings 8 on the extension.

In the. rocess of forming the oil-pan and candle hoiher, the blank is first cut as shown in Fig. 6. The next step (preferably, though not essentially) is to form the candle-holder out of the extension 3. This is done by curling over the wings 8 of the extension, as shown in Fig. 7, the cylindrical holder 9 being thus formed, lying on the same plane as the body 2 of the blank, and being connected therewith by the short tongue 7. The blank as shown in Fig. 7 can then be used to form either a candle holder or a combined oil-pan and candle-holder. If the same is to be used to form a candle-holder, the cylindrical portion 9 (the candle-holder) is bent upwardly in a plane at an angle to the body of the blank, by bending the tongue 7, thereby producing an article such as shown in Fig. 8, in which the portion.2 ofthe blank acts as the base of the holder, and the cylindrical part 9 as the candle-holder.

The combined candle-holder and oil-pan can be produced from the blank either before or after the cylindrical portion 9 is formed as shown in Fig. 7.

The die can be so formed as to produce the article shown in Figs. 1-3 in which 10 is the base of the an and 11 and 12 the sides thereof; or tiat shown in Figs. 4 and 5 in which 10 is the base of the pan and 12 the sides thereof. After the pan is thus formed the holder 9, formed as before described, may be bent upwardly on the tongue 7. It will then extend from the edge or side of the pan and over into the plane of the containing portion of the pan, which will'then serve to catch the drippings from the candle. In the form shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, the sides or Wall of the pan are corrugated for ornamental purposes. At the end opposite the candle-holder the lipped extension 2 is corrugated to provide a spout 13 in which a wick may be laid by means of which the oil contained in the pan may be burned; or it may be used to drain the pan. In the modified form shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the wall 12 of the pan is non-corrugated, and the wickholder or spout 14 is formed by narrowing that portion of the wall 12 It will be apparent that the article thus produced can be used for purposes other than those herein named; and that various mod-ifications of the same in shape or configura tion can be made without departing from the spirit of my invention.

I claim l. A combined candle-holder and oil-pan, comprising a pan, a cylindrical and upwardly extending candle-holder at and rigid with the outer edge of the pan, and a wick retainer at the other end.

2. An improved article of manufacture comprising a pan having a narrow neck formed on its edge, an extension from said neck and wings projecting from said extension and turned upon themselves to form an inelosed projection at the outer edge of the pan and disposed vertically.

' 3. An article of the class described, coinpris'ing a base 2 of oval shape having a lateral extension 3 with wings 8 turned upon themselves to form a tubular projection 9, the proj ection extending upwardly and outside of the plane of the base at the edge of the upper end of the device.

4. As an im roved article of manufacture, a combined oil pan and candle holder formed of a single piece of material and comprising a dish shaped body having at one end a lipped extension corrugated to form a spout and at the other end provided with an extension disposed vertically at the edge of the pan and bent into tubular form.

Signed at the city, county and State of New York, this 5th day of September, 1908.
